With the rapid advances in technology, the conventional academic and research departments of Electronics engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Instrumentation Engineering over the globe are forced to come together and update their curriculum with few common interdisciplinary courses in order to come out with the engineers and researchers with muli-dimensional capabilities. The gr- ing perception of the aHardware becoming Softa and aSoftware becoming Harda with the emergence of the FPGAs has made its impact on both the hardware and software professionals to change their mindset of working in narrow domains. An interdisciplinary field where aHardware meets the Softwarea for undertaking se- ingly unfeasible tasks is System on Chip (SoC) which has become the basic pl- form of modern electronic appliances. If it wasnat for SoCs, we wouldnat be driving our car with foresight of the traffic congestion before hand using GPS. Without the omnipresence of the SoCs in our every walks of life, the society is wouldnat have evidenced the rich benefits of the convergence of the technologies such as audio, video, mobile, IPTV just to name a few. The growing expectations of the consumers have placed the field of SoC design at the heart of at variance trends. On one hand there are challenges owing to design complexities with the emergence of the new processors, RTOS, software protocol stacks, buses, while the brutal forces of deep submicron effects such as crosstalk, electromigration, timing closures are challe- ing the design metrics.However, the designs generated by the above mentioned EDA tools after initial
synthesis by an algebraic approach are far inferior to manual designs in some
cases, owing ... More than the importance to the initial structural description of the
Boolean Expression, applying certain transformation at the logical level results in
minimization of the power consumption. ... The basic difference between a glitch
and hazard goes on following lines: the former is the momentary change of
signalsanbsp;...
